I'm of the same opinion, though happily I doubt I'll be around to see it.
We are so reliant on a global economy that a second Dark Age is inevitable.
The country ground to a virtual halt in the seventies because of industrial strife. Just imagine what chaos would ensue if there was a sustained period without fuel, power, food, transport etc. There'd be anarchy, and the few farms we have in this country certainly couldn't feed the sixty million who live in these islands.
I might put my name down for an allotment.
